Fob Only

For attachment to a pocket watch chain, necklace, lanyard, zipper-pull, or other accessory; or for use by itself.

Leather Strap (w/ square)

Fob is attached, via a gold-toned square-shaped connector, to a 1/2" wide sturdy leather strap, measuring approx. 90mm (3 1/2") in length, offered in brown or black leather, with a gold-toned buckle. To use the fob with a pocket watch, you unbuckle and thread the top of the leather strap through the watch bow then re-buckle the strap. You can then put the watch into your pocket and the decorative plate will hang outside, enabling quick access to retrieving the watch to tell the time. These can also be used solely as a decorative piece as well by threading your belt through the leather strap and letting the fob display off.

Leather Strap (w/ bar)

Fob is attached, via a base-metal bar-style connector, to a 1/2" wide sturdy leather strap, measuring approx. 90mm (3 1/2") in length, offered in brown or black leather, with a silver-toned, gold-toned, or black-toned buckle. To use the fob with a pocket watch, you unbuckle and thread the top of the leather strap through the watch bow then re-buckle the strap. You can then put the watch into your pocket and the decorative plate will hang outside, enabling quick access to retrieving the watch to tell the time. These can also be used solely as a decorative piece as well by threading your belt through the leather strap and letting the fob display off.

Figure-8 Style Key Ring

Fob is attached to a sturdy base metal figure-8 key ring with solid base metal bail. The key chain segment measure approximately 48mm (2") in length. To add a key to the chain, pry open the top section of the key chain and slip your key between the 2 separated sections until it rests to the side. Then, release the key chain, which will snap back to the closed position.

Latch-Style Key Ring

Fob is attached to a sturdy base metal latch-style key ring with short base metal length of thick rope-style chain connecting the ring to the fob. The key chain segment measures 26mm wide x 65mm long. To use the key chain, open the clasp on the side of the latch-ring, attach your keys to the ring and then close and latch the clasp back together.

Split-Ring Key Ring

Fob is attached to a sturdy base metal split-ring key ring with a small base metal swivel connecting the ring to the fob. The key chain segment measures 33mm wide x 48mm long.

8" Albert-style pocket watch chain

Fob is attached to the drop of an 8" medium weight, quality Sterling silver plate, 24k gold plate, or Hematite black plate pocket watch chain. The 6mm links on this chain are a flat, interconnecting style with a slight bevel to each link and are finished with a very high grade .925 solid silver plating, a 24k solid gold plating (both very close to a gold filled quality), or a Hematite black (black with a lustrous tone) plating, all on a solid brass base, with a thin sealant to prevent tarnishing. All feature high quality materials we're proud to carry due to their overall appearance and durability. The Albert style of these chains feature a spring ring finding, plus a drop and a heavy swivel with secure interior latch to secure to the bow of your watch. 1.5" drop chain is ideal for attaching the fob and is finished with a small spring ring to facilitate easy addition and removal of fobs.

Additionally, any of our small fobs pair well with our entire line of traditional-style modern pocket watch chains. To view our full selection of chains, and customize your own, visit our Modern Pocket Watch Chains listing.
